Tour Information
The house where Gaetano Donizetti was born is a five-storey building dating back to medieval times. The Donizetti family lived in the basement. Purchased by the Municipality of Bergamo in 1925, the building was declared a National Monument in 1926 as it was «of historical interest». To mark the first centenary of Donizetti’s death (1948), and then in 1973, the basement was restored and opened to the public. In 2007, the Municipality of Bergamo began restoration work that led to its full opening in 2009 and to the management being entrusted to the Fondazione Teatro Donizetti (Donizetti Theatre Foundation).
